Beer Bottlecap Cake

This is a cake I made for a friend's husband's birthday. His favorite beer is Red Hook, so we made a cake that looks like a Red Hook bottlecap. The cake is a 16 inch chocolate cake carved into a bottlecap and then covered in buttercream frosting and red fondant. The gray lettering is fondant and all other decorations are buttercream frosting. The red fondant was brushed in red luster dust afterwards.

Iraq Deployment Sendoff Cake

My director is being deployed to Iraq for 10 months, so we gave her a surprise sendoff. The cake is a yellow sponge cake with buttercream and raspberry filling. Both layers were iced in buttercream before being covered in fondant. The bottom later is 12x18 inches and the top layer is another 12x18 inch cake carved into the shape of Iraq. The anchor (she's in the navy) and edging was completed with buttercream frosting, and her "mini me" was made from gumpaste.

Froggy Baby Block

This is a cake I did for a friend's sister's baby shower. The cake was modeled after a baby block and featured frogs and a train. The cake was a four layer yellow cake with buttercream and raspberry filling. The base of the cake is blue buttercream frosting and the decorations are fondant. The frog on top was made using gumpaste.

Halloween Cake

This is a cake I made for a co-worker's twin 6 year old boys, whose names start with "G" and "F". The cake is an orange flavored sponge cake and all of the decorations are buttercream frosting.

Eye Cake

This is a cake I did for my manager after he had laser eye surgery. It's a spice cake with buttercream frosting (single layer 12 inch cake with a 1/2 ball cake on top). Thankfully he liked it and I got to keep my job! ;-)

German Chocolate Baby Shower Cake

This is a cake I did for a friend's friend's baby shower. The cake is a 10 inch double layer round german chocolate with the standard german chocolate filling (coconut, caramel, pecans...). The frosting is chocolate buttercream and I made the decorations (shells, blankets, baby blocks, umbrella, etc.) with chocolate as well.

First Birthday with Stars

This is a birthday cake I made for a first birthday. The cake is my "Lemon Vanilla Awesome Cake" with buttercream frosting. I carved one 9x13 cake into the number "1" and placed it on top of another 9x13 cake. All of the stars and "banners" are fondant. I curled some floral wire and put tiny fondant stars painted silver on each to have them "shooting" out of the cake.
